Edinburgh Trams

I have used the trams about a dozen times now and think they're great. They have dedicated wheelchair spaces. There's a wheelchair icon on the ground at stops, where the doors giving direct access to the wheelchair spaces. You roll on and off, you don't need a ramp. The trams are clean and tidy. There's a conductor who checks passengers tickets and also ensure you get on and off ok.

Edinburgh trams have been around for quite some time. Over recent years the line has been extended and now runs from Edinburgh Airport all the way through to Newhaven down by Leith docks. As with all new transport journeys; when you first use the tram it can be quite confusing what the protocols are, how do you buy a ticket, how do you know where you are, and these things can put you off travelling.

Used the Tram a couple of days in a row, parking at Ingliston Park & Ride. Where there are plenty of disabled parking bays. This was a very easy experience (using mobility scooter), though you do need a permit to take the scooter on. You can arrange one here: https://edinburghtrams.com/about-trams/tram-access At the tram stops the tram is level with the 'platform' so very easy to enter and exit. The only issue was the Edinburgh bound ticket machine gets the sun in the morning so hard to see!
